Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

Tug of War at Capaha Park

Posted Wednesday, May 12, 2010, at 7:30 AM

These students of Cape Catholic High School are having a tug of war at Capaha Park in this picture taken by G.D. Fronabarger. The date is unknown but was during the 1950s.

Cape Girardeau Catholic High School opened in 1954. The name of the school was changed to Notre Dame High School in 1960. The Notre Dame Regional High School opened in 1998.

This item was published in the Southeast Missourian, May 17, 1958:

Cape Catholic pupils enjoyed field day at Capaha Park Wednesday. Activities, with all-school participation as part of the physical education requirement, began at 8:45, and Coach Tony Rubich, director of physical education, was assisted by Vernon Compas, the several team captains and faculty members in carrying out the day's program.
